Honestly the less rights parents have the better, IMO. They need certain rights just to operate but man, some of them are very shit people.

That's a good point. Supporting all hardware in particular is a pretty big ask. Maybe you could cleverly fit memory management into a small amount of code, but a pile of arbitrary standards can't really be meaningfully compressed.

In the video he states the OS he uses works on the original Pentium processor which came out in 1993. Four years after Reagan went out of office.

I was wondering. That didn't look like an 80's computer.

I'm told it might be a 18.x issue.

It's a relative thing. Right now, what war there is is mostly within the internationally recognised borders, as opposed to across them. If shit really pops off we could see, like, Dubai being leveled by Iranian rockets and most of the survivors dying of thirst with no desalination plants.

Also, since we're doing nitpicks, the Middle east wasn't necessarily more warlike than every other civilisational region. It's just that China or the Himalayas aren't in the Bible, so Anglos don't think about them as much.

I take it all the important stuff stays in America, though. There's a chance you couldn't even tell I'm Canadian if you met me, but there's still senior devs earning 60k up here.

In every country but the US, really. Someday, big tech companies will realise that a person in any other Western country can code just as well for half the price, but for now they won't even consider it cause 'Murica.

It should be possible, right? It's not like we've gotten worse at coding. All the bloat is a function of people not caring, and to some degree different requirements.

I should check if lemmy.sdf.org is back online. Retrocomputing would love this.

Mentioning @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org, so I can find this easier.

Hmm. Apparently there's some kind of federation issue. Good to know it works, though!

Yeah. I feel like there's a real lack of discussion about where the dividing line should be on the issue. How different from just imagining it is it, really? Nobody's saying your dirty mind should be banned.

Now, if you actually send this shit to Taylor Swift, that 100% should be criminal.

Did you get something back?

Thankfully I'm not on Google for anything, but I will think of this every time I send an email to someone who is.

It isn't looking like a great moment in China, I'll give you that. Banning shortselling is a doubly bad sign, because it indicates a major issue and is also guaranteed not to help solve it.
